1.  How do you connect to your client and customer markets?

What is the market? Who is servicing it? Who is selling into it? How are people selling to market?  Where does money flow from?  How are you protecting your intellectual property rights, and those of the musicians you work with?  How does this impact the way in which you record, eg budget decisions, technologies, methodologies? 


Wish List: what would help you in your business, eg less restrictions on services such as Spotify, more encouragement for innovation through government support (tax credits, relief that is currently targeted at larger businesses).

I
n an era of emerging technologies and music industry practices, redefining the traditional sound recording studio as well as the roles of the sound engineer and producer has become part of the changing landscape.

New hardware and software has allowed the traditional studio owner to broaden the scope of his/her core capabilities in an effort to deepen market presence. The studio is more often now directly engaged in the entire chain of the creation of music, from artist development and product promotion through to a label-like stake in any potential profits.

Entrepreneurial spirit combined with initiative and resourcefulness have brought forth the emergence of the independent recording studio capable of offering services over a broader range of the audio industry and beyond.

We refer to this market as the eStudio or Enterprise Studio.
